First one is to write a web crawl for a given shopping website in 48 hours to implement two queries: find the total number of search results for a given keyword; print out all the search results in the screen by giving keyword and page number. The second one will be the technical phone interview and the behaverial interview will follow it. The last one should be the onsite interview.

Applied Online. Company very unclear of what they want from candidates. Even after completing the exercise on their on-site interview, they sent a decline. Waste of time and energy.

One round of on-compus interview, one on-line code challenge, one round phone interview (behavior), and one final on-site interview. The on-site interview involves 2 interviews and one code-challenge. The whole process takes around 4 weeks. The process is a little depressing, and you can feel the competition between you and other interviewees.

Vorstellungsgespräch

First two phone interviews, standard interview questions, reversing a linked list etc. Then I had a personality interview, the first red flag. I was asked to solve ridiculous riddles in about 3 minutes while being asked random questions about my background. This was absolutely unnecessary and felt almost insulting.

Then got asked to come for an onsite interview. I had some introductory talks with a few engineers (at that point they only had about 10 engineers) and then met their CTO Lemuel Park. He gave me an overlook of their company and their future plan, so far so good. One thing that made me a little uneasy was that every employee mentioned that you have to work 12+ hours every day. I'm aware that in a startup with limited resources this is sometimes necessary but the fact that every single engineer I talked to mentioned this was a red flag.

I was then asked to do a coding exercise on a computer they supplied me. Wasn't giving much except here is a computer try to get some local search program done in approx. 3 hours. I felt like I didn't do great but I had something working so that concluded the interview.

To my surprise about a week after I received an offer from them.

Fragen im Vorstellungsgespräch

Gründe für die Ablehnung

There were red flags throughout the interview for example the phone riddle test. Reading some glassdoor reviews 2+ years later seems to confirm this. They seem to have forgotten that an interview is also an opportunity for an employee to evaluate the employer. They didn't pass.

(1) Flex your coding skills
The first step in the interview process is a coding assignment, to be completed in a 48-hour period. You can work on the assignment off-and-on during the 48 hours. Depending on your familiarity with the material, it can take some time to complete so be sure to plan accordingly.

(2) Phone interview
Following the coding assignment, we will schedule a set of phone interviews. For these phone interviews, I highly recommend researching our company to be as prepared as possible. The best way to do this is by checking out our website, www.brightedge.com and our blog. In these phone interviews, there will be both technical and behavioral questions asked, but it is also a time for you to ask any questions that you have about the company and the position.

(3) In-House interview
For the last step in the interview process, you will be invited in-house to BrightEdge's headquarters in San Mateo, CA. It will be a full day session where you will get a chance to meet the team, visit the office, and spend one full working day with the engineering team. The idea behind the day is to experience how working days are spent with BrightEdge (early-stage startup). We want to make sure that you are comfortable with our team, and vice versa.
